Airport not affected by Telesquirt change
By GRANT BRYANT
Queenstown Airport's firefighting
capabilities should not be affected
by the Queenstown Fire Brigade
having its Telesquirt appliance
replaced with a smaller pump
truck, the airport's boss says.
The New Zealand Fire Service
plans to replace the Telesquirt
appliance, capable of pumping 64
litres per second and equipped
with a 15.24m ladder with a type 1
pump truck, only capable of
pumping 30 litres per second and
equipped with a 7.3m ladder, later
this year.
Queenstown brigade chief Bob
Robertson said the replacement
plan would affect the airport
firefighting crew the most.
The reduced-capacity pump
would make it a struggle to pump
enough water to one of the
airport's appliances, let alone the
three appliances on site at the
airport, Mr Robertson said.
However, Queenstown Airport
Corporation chief executive
officer Scott Paterson told the
Mirror the airport Rescue Fire
Service was a self-sufficient,
independent crew governed by the
Civil Aviation Authority.
''The rules and requirements of
the Airport's RFS are prescribed
by the New Zealand Civil
Aviation Authority,'' he said.
''CAA audit the airport to ensure
that the airport's RFS are
compliant. Changes to the NZ Fire
Rescue's vehicle fleet locally will
not affect the airport's com-
pliance.''
In an emergency, local brigades,
under the New Zealand Fire
Service, provided assistance, usu-
ally under police command, Mr
Paterson said.
Although local and airport fire
crews shared an annual emerg-
ency response exercise at the
airport, along with police and St
John Ambulance Service, the
airport Fire Rescue Service's
compliance to Civil Aviation
Authority stipulations would not
be affected by changes within any
other agencies.
However, if other agencies felt
their airport emergency response
plans were affected by internal
changes, they were free to alter
those plans.
''The NZ Fire Service may choose
to update their tactical response
plan if a vehicle fleet change was
going to alter the manner in
which they would respond . . . but
again this will not affect the
airport's compliance,'' Mr
Paterson said.
Housed on the airport apron,
the Fire Rescue Service has
three dedicated rescue
response trucks. Two carry
7000 litres of water each and
the smaller truck carries
2500 litres.
New Zealand Airport Associ-
ation chief executive officer
Kevin Ward said airport fire
rescue service crews were
individual employees of the
airport they were employed by.
Civil Aviation Authority spokes-
man Peter Thornbury said airport
fire rescue services had to
maintain emergency response
capability, both in terms of
response speed and equipment,
with the airport they were
employed by to retain certifi-
cation.
''A change in Queenstown fire
service equipment therefore does
not affect this (certification),'' he
said.
Traffic havoc in spring snow
Round and round: Emergency services are kept busy in the Wakatipu yesterday. Snow blankets Frankton, bringing traffic
to a standstill.

Traffic came to a standstill in
Frankton yesterday morning as
snow settled on the ground
causing chaos on the roads and
keeping emergency services busy.
Snow showers were fleeting in
other parts of the district but
Frankton was worst hit.
Local weather expert David Crow
expected the snow to continue all
day and warned of heavy frosts
over the next few nights.
Residents at Kingston woke to a
good coating with five centimetres
lying on the ground, he said.
Mirror regional manager Tim
Porter was stuck on the roadside
at Frankton as the Mirror went to
print and said the snow was still
falling and traffic chaotic.
''The roads are getting a bit
crazy,'' Mr Porter said.
The weather brought welcome
snow to all ski areas just ahead of
the New Zealand and Australian
school holidays which start at the
end of next week. Treble Cone
reported a whopping 150cm falling
on the skifield in the past week
with 15cm falling overnight on
Monday. Coronet Peak reported
10 to 15cm and The Remarkables
20cm overnight on Monday, with
snow continuing to fall heavily at
both skifields yesterday.
Cardrona also reported 20cm of
snow falling since Monday and
said occasional showers con-
tinued yesterday. SnowPark
reported 10cm overnight on
Monday.
